Tomato Bacon Cream Pasta

When I first started this blog it was intended to be about many different things. Somehow lately it has revolved around food. I admit it, I'm a full fledged foodie. I promise there will be post about crafts and life but I just can't pass up sending out a recipe that I loved. I could tell my son liked it too after he had 3 servings and then stood over the pan eating more. I took me less than 30 minutes to prepare and I had all the ingredients in  my freezer and pantry so that was a plus. On a night when I really wanted to go to the local burger joint but instead said, "oh I'll find something to fix", this quick delicious meal hit the spot. For my friends who don't cook with alcohol, I don't think it will change the taste much by leaving it out. Hope you enjoy!


Tomato Bacon Cream Pasta

  •  2 (25-oz.) package frozen cheese ravioli
  •  2(16-oz.) jar sun-dried tomato Alfredo sauce
  •  4 tablespoons white wine (I used moscato but use whatever you have on hand.)
  •  4 medium-size fresh tomatoes, chopped  
  •  1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  •  Bacon bits ( I used packaged but you could use 4-5 strips cooked) 
  •   grated Parmesan cheese
Boil water in a large pot. Pour in ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes until ravioli floats. Drain. In a large pot or saucepan, pour in alfredo sauce and wine and stir. Turn on burner to medium heat. Add tomatoes, basil and bacon.  Stir together well and heat to a simmer. When ravioli it done, add to sauce and mix ravioli until well coated with sauce.  Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
